Happy Summer !!!!

Well it's here and no one better be complaining about the heat, especially after that brutal winter we endured here in New England. With this warm weather I have been eating a lot of Gazpacho. It is so refreshing, satisfying and yes, healthy. This inspired me to create my first illustrated recipe and submit it to the They Draw and Cook. Guess what? They published it!

This very cool site shares artist's and illustrator's artwork of their favorite recipes. If you love to cook or simply enjoy looking through cookbooks for ideas this site is for you. Don't forget to check out their sister site They Draw and Travel. With my new carved pepper, tomato, garlic, citrus, bottle and onion stamps, no doubt I will be starting some more recipes, which will require more stamps to carve. That's fine by me.

Also I wanted to share some more of my pieces recently published by Stampington & Co. My first appearance in Art Quilting Studio, Summer 2014 where they featured my art quilt with a hooked wool design in the center. Home Sweet Home, yeah I know not a very original name but it certainly goes with this charming piece.

About Me

I'm a stamp carving artist creating pattern & surface designs. I love stamping+art journaling+collage+painting+quilting+rug hooking and all things paper and or fabric. Of all my creative experiences I can honestly say stamping is my first and true love. I tell my kids "Life is all about stamping!" a metaphor of course but for me it's true. My art is featured in Jane Davies latest book "Adventures in Mixed Media" and her previous book "Collage Journeys". I have written articles for Art Journaling Magazine and I have over 35 items published in art magazines, such as the popular Somerset Studio, Sew Somerset, The Stampers' Sampler,(cover) Somerset Studio, Gallery Editions II, III and IV. In 2001 my stamped art gained the cover of The Rubber Stamper which has now become Crafts n Things. I live in North Boston and although I grew up in Texas I have made New England my home. You can find my creations on my Flickr, Pingg and in my Etsy shop and this blog. If I can inspire you to create...then even better.
